Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cool Browser at none against Side Browser's 3. Cool Browser also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). Side Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
